A.W.Lymn based at Carlton have been so supportive and helpful throughout all of the arrangements for my husband's funeral
From the initial phone call to arrange going in to speak to them, to the funeral itself, nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff if I needed help or advice
They kept me informed about everything and were always courteous and kind.
The funeral was carried out with care and dignity.
Paul, who led the funeral for us, I cannot speak highly enough of. He was always approachable when I needed help or advice on anything, and he is so kind.
All of the staff were so discreet in their presence but also highly professional.
At a very difficult time, I was helped by the staff at Carlton and I cannot thank them enough for making such a sad event bearable. I am so grateful of the help you gave me to make my husband's funeral such a loving tribute for him, it was exactly what I wanted for him.
Thankyou for everything.
